Even before Arizona was called for President Joe Biden, election fraud theorists and Republican leaders, including then-President Donald Trump, began questioning the integrity of the state's election. A year later, lawsuits and jokes surrounding the review of the 2020 election in Arizona's biggest county persist.

Election experts correctly predicted that the audit would take much longer and cost much more than the original estimate. They also raised concerns about the partisanship and lack of transparency of an audit led and funded by election fraud conspiracists and the state Senate Republicans' efforts to keep secret all documents related to the audit.

The final report that the Senate released confirmed that Biden won the election by a higher margin than the county's official results and offered no definitive proof of any election fraud. However, the results of the audit seemingly have changed no one's minds.

We've spent the past four months digging even deeper into the audit's origins, and we released a five-part investigative series that includes never-before-reported information about the review of Maricopa County's 2020 election and its lasting effects.

We're Arizona Republic reporters Jen Fifield, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ron Hansen, and we've been reporting on the Arizona audit from the very beginning. We've observed the counting, read the documents and talked to people on the inside. Ask us anything.

EDIT: That's all the time we have for today! Thanks for all of your thoughtful questions and discussion. If we didn't get to your questions, we'll check back throughout the week to answer as many as possible. In the meantime, you can read our latest five-part investigative series on the audit (for subscribers) here:

Part 1: White House phone calls, baseless fraud charges: The origins of the Arizona election review

Part 2: An audacious pitch to reverse Arizona's election results

Part 3: As Trump's hold on Arizona politicians tightened, one state senator said 'no'

Part 4: Partisans with limited experience stumble through gaffe-prone 'audit'

Part 5: Trump supporters focus on 'issues' with election, not the final result, as Arizona ballot review falls flat
